Are you in the market for some new drones? Even if you're not, Parrot's new releases are still worth taking a look at. Parrot, maker of various wireless products and drones, has released two new models - the Parrot Swing and Parrot Mambo.

The Parrot Mambo is close to your typical quadcopter drone, but with a few extra goodies. You can attach a cannon to the top of the Mambo to take down your friends' drones, try to aim the balls into a goal, or continuously fire the balls at the back of your friend's head.

If firing tiny balls isn't your thing, you can also attach a grabber arm to the bottom of the Mambo. With the arm, the drone can pick up objects up to four grams, which translates to about four paper clips. The power to shoot tiny balls at your friends and carry paper clips can be yours for the low price of $119.99.

What flies like a plane, controls like a quadricopter, and looks like an X-Wing Fighter? Parrot's other new drone, the Parrot Swing! The Swing is definitely the more unique of the two drones, capable of flying vertically and horizontally. The Swing takes off the ground like a quadrocopter, then the tiny propellers turn on their sides to propel the drone forwards. The Swing can even reach 18 mph, and perform loops and flips in-air. The Parrot Swing will set you back $139.99.

Both drones also feature cameras, albeit only at VGA resolution. They can be controlled with Android devices using their FreeFlight Mini application linked below.

The only thing that keeps me from buying a drone is their battery life. Most of them can't top 10 minutes.

Agreed! I really want one but the high costs (although these are certainly affordable to me) and short battery life are what have kept me away.

There was an article on here a couple of weeks ago about a "no, totally for real this time" bump in battery life for phones that may show up later this year or early next year. Maybe we'll get 20-30 minute flight times by next summer.

I would never buy another Parrot product. I have two of their Flower Powers. They worked absolutely flawlessly for maybe a month and then they updated the Android app and they haven't worked properly in over a year. Dreadful, terrible company.

Yeah dude, you know you have the ability to download the previous versions APK right? Seems like a simple solution to your problem you are clearly still upset about...

These are awesome for the price. Might have to pick up two Mambo's to have dog fights and shoot each other down!

I would never buy another parrot drone. First one had a motor catch fire exchanged it. That one had a dead motor upon opening. 3rd one just randomly looses altitude when it feels like it. Walmart wouldn't let me exchange again so it sits in the box.

Why are all these things called drones? They are just the newest generation of remote controlled aircraft. Why are we calling them "drones" all of a sudden, when they have existed for decades..? All that's even different is the ability to self-hover, and the battery technology.
